The Majordomo-Jobs mailing list is for
announcements of jobs and contracts related to the
Majordomo mailing list manager.

People who are capable of and interested in such jobs and contracts
should subscribe to this list.

People who have such jobs and contracts should post a message to
this list, describing the position or project, and asking for direct
responses from qualified and interested parties. These postings
will be reviewed to ensure that they are consistent with the guidelines
outlined in this document (i.e., to ensure that they aren't spam), and
then distributed to the list within a few days of posting.

Subscription Information

All messages sent to the list are publicly available in a
web-based archive,
as well as searchable via Google and other search engines.

We strongly believe that searchable archives of past messages are
one of the most important features of Internet mailing lists such as this
one, and that it's critical that those archives be complete and accurate
representations of the discussions on the list. Therefore, as a general
rule we will not honor requests to edit the archives to remove or
modify particular postings. So, be thoughtful before posting; you're going
to have to live with whatever you say being in the archives forever,
searchable by employers, family members, etc.

Note that, if you post messages to the list, the email
address you post from will likely be harvested from the archives
by spammers. We have carefully considered this problem, and concluded
that there really isn't any way we can prevent that while still maintaining
useful and searchable archives. You should take whatever steps you feel
are appropriate to protect yourself, such as using a strong spam-filtering
system or posting from throw-away accounts.

Policies

Harvesting of email addresses from this mailing list or its archives
for any purpose (but particularly commercial mailings) is prohibited.

You can subscribe a local redistribution list or a gateway to a local
newsgroup, as long as whatever you do is local to your site. This
restriction makes it much easier for us to track down mailer problems.

We're very aggressive when it comes to bounced email. If email to you
starts bouncing, we'll probably drop you from the list fairly quickly;
you'll have to resubscribe when you get the problem fixed, and retrieve
the archives to find out what you missed.
